* If the hit parade of the popularity of garden flowers were held, then, undoubtedly, nasturtium would occupy one of the first places in it.
It is difficult to find a garden where this flower does not meet. In addition, nasturtium is also a wonderful balcony plant.
Probably everyone has heard about its unpretentiousness, but perhaps few know about the benefits for your garden and even for the table.
If you think that nasturtium is very commonplace and will not work for your garden, then you are greatly mistaken ...
This flower, like no other, will fit into almost any garden concept: fashionable, ecological or any other. After all, it is no coincidence that nasturtium was one of the favorite flowers of Claude Monet, who occupied huge areas in his Giverny garden near Paris.
